Tramp after dark.
A drink at the Canopy Bar starts the evening. Downstairs, supper is served beneath the original zodiac ceiling.
A private members’ club refit, from the sweep of the Canopy Bar to the carved timber in Jackie’s Lounge.

A discreet door on Jermyn Street.
Tramp opened in 1969. Its name raised a smile given the company it kept. Frank Sinatra and Joan Collins came here, as did the Rolling Stones and Princess Margaret. You could recognise half the room and still be expected to keep it to yourself.
First drinks at street level.
A band of warm light follows the stone counter round both corners. Above it, the bottle shelves reflect in the red lacquered ceiling. From a stool, you can see the whole bar.
The zodiac ceiling and the seventeenth-century panelling both survived the refit.
Dinner beneath the zodiac.
Silver leaf catches the light on the signs overhead. Below them, white tablecloths break up the dark wood. Lamps repeat in the mirrors along the banquettes, casting a softer light across the tables.
A corner worth keeping to yourself.
The lounge takes its name from novelist Jackie Collins. Carved timber panels line the walls above a long red banquette. Leopard-print sofas draw the eye, but the little tables along the wall are the ones for a quiet word.
Another round on Jermyn Street.
Luca Maggiora worked in finance while helping to run Maddox in Mayfair. He opened his own club, Luxx, in 2007. When he reopened Tramp in 2024, he brought in design studio Campbell-Rey.
There’s a table for an unhurried dinner and a bar for the round nobody meant to order.
